It was hard enough to get lawyers to migrate from Word Perfect to Word.

I wish it was even harder, a Word document is a jumble of hidden formatting instructions that is impossible to troubleshoot.

Oh god, I'm getting flashbacks to my first internship, where just about the only thing I liked about WP was that there was a key chord for inserting a section symbol, while Word didn't have that. I think some older lawyers told me they thought the only reason they still were on WP was because of that.
